The project of reconstruction and expansion of the Yaroslavl highway to the region in the region. Yaroslavskoe highway: a route of hopes and disappointments

Yaroslavl highway in the Moscow region: how to expand the bottleneck after reconstruction March 18th, 2014

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the M-8 "Kholmogory" highway (popularly "Yaroslavl Highway"). First of all, the route serves a large agglomeration in the Moscow region - Mytishchi, Korolev, Yubileiny, Ivanteevka, Pushkino, Schelkovo and several dozens of towns, towns and villages, total number population of about 1 million people! Moreover, there is a powerful transit flow along the highway to the northeast. Moreover, neighboring highways (Dmitrovskoe and Gorky highway) are located at a considerable distance and in no way can serve as "understudies" of Yaroslavl.

It is not surprising that the Kholmogory highway in the Moscow region is overloaded and needs to be reconstructed for a long time. This renovation started in 2013. Construction work is already underway at sections 16-20 and 22-29 km.

Problem: major bottlenecks will remain
Unfortunately, the effect of this stage of reconstruction will be very limited. The fact is that the expandable 6-lane traffic-free section ends in the Klyazma area, and the main interchanges and exits from the highway are located after Klyazma, where there are still 2 lanes and a pedestrian traffic light!


"Bottlenecks" are preserved both in Moscow and in the region. Gorlyshko towards Moscow will be relatively short (but no less difficult for this): about 1 km from the Staro confluence Yaroslavl highway and the current M-8 highway to Klyazma.

Neck towards the area will be much more pronounced, because the main interchanges and exits will be 1-5 km after the narrowing of the highway. We list them: Central passage and Ivanteevskoe highway (stream to Ivanteevka and Fryazino); Staroyaroslavskoe highway (entrance from Pushkino and further along the Eldiginskoe highway to A-107 in west side); Krasnoarmeyskoe highway (entrance to Krasnoarmeysk and exit to A-107 to the east).

The thickness of the lines corresponds to the width of the road after the reconstruction

According to our estimate, the number of those who need further to the region after the reconstructed site is different time 50-70% of traffic on the M-8 highway. If they do not take action, the stage of reconstruction carried out will seem to them an expensive way to transfer the cork, almost not reducing its length and duration.

It will be easier to get only to Mytishchi, Korolev and Yubileiny. But due to the preserved bottleneck, this lightness will play a cruel joke further, attracting extra transit to these cities. For example, in Korolyovo, the traffic situation may even worsen: transit traffic to Shchelkovo and Fryazino will not be able to quickly reach Ivanteevskoye Highway and will continue to use Pionerskaya Street and Bolshevskoye Highway.

What are the authorities planning?
However, claims to the authorities of the Moscow region should not be presented: the M-8 Kholmogory highway is federal, Rosavtodor is reconstructing it. Apparently, the federals understand the need for a comprehensive reconstruction: in 2014, the design of the reconstruction of the next section of the Yaroslavl Highway from 29 to 47 km began. That is, from Klyazma to A-107, "small concrete".

But the design is a long process, the length of this section is 18 km, and the money for its reconstruction until 2015 has not even been included in the Federal Target Program. It turns out that even if there is money and political will, it will be possible to reconstruct this section no earlier than 2018. This means that if no action is taken, in 2016-2018 many kilometers of traffic jams are guaranteed on the freshly reconstructed Yaroslavl Highway.

What Probok offers
Let's say right away: it is unlikely that it will be possible to completely “resolve” the cork in the bottleneck without reconstruction and expansion. But it can be significantly reduced: reduce the length and duration of the traffic jam by 1.5-2 times and increase the speed of passing problem areas by the same 1.5-2 times. Moreover, this can be achieved by measures costing several tens of millions of rubles, which is 2 orders of magnitude (100 times) cheaper than the reconstruction itself. As for the timing, if there is political will, all this can be done in the remaining 2 years, in time for the opening of the reconstructed site!

Solution 1: Repartition
From the border of the reconstruction to the area, the route has a width of about 11 meters in one direction. They have 2 traffic lanes and a wide lane for the roadside. Before the exits and after them, an additional transitional speed lane is marked in the "roadside" lane.

It is easy to guess: after the completion of the reconstruction, part of the transport will drive en masse along the side of the road, and part will be built into 2 “permitted” lanes.

The solution begs: on critical sections, cancel the "roadside" lane, marking 3 lanes!

Scheme and boundaries of redevelopment areas


Interestingly, the acceleration and deceleration lanes mostly it will be possible to save it: as you can see in the photographs, in the junction area, the width of the carriageway completely accommodates the 4th lane.

Of course, such a traffic pattern will be temporary: after a full-fledged reconstruction, the shoulders must be restored.

Solution 2. Relocation of the fence on the bridge across the Ucha River
There is a section between the Ivanteevskaya and Pushkinskaya interchanges where it will not work to make 3 lanes towards the region by simple re-marking. This is a 4-lane bridge across the Ucha River, where there is no wide lane on the right, but there is a central wide lane where a dividing fence is installed.

Solution: move the dividing fence on the bridge between the lighting poles. This will make it possible to obtain a carriageway 11 meters wide and organize 3 lanes on the bridge for traffic towards the region (as in the sections before and after the bridge). Since this creates a slight bend in the carriageway, it is necessary to limit the speed on this section to 50 km/h and install warning boards.

This solution is also temporary. With a full reconstruction of the section, 4-5 traffic lanes in each direction with roadsides and the construction of a second bridge will most likely be organized.

Solution 3: Construction of a pedestrian crossing
A traffic light pedestrian crossing at the confluence of the M-8 and Staroyaroslavskoye Highway creates problems for bandwidth even now, with a 2-lane traffic limited by Tarasovka. After the opening of a 5-6-lane traffic-free section from the Moscow Ring Road to km 29, this traffic light will become the main brake on traffic on both sides of the highway. This transition cannot be canceled: the Pushkino logistics park is located here, if canceled, the length of the pedestrian path to it will increase by 2 kilometers.

The solution is obvious: before the opening of the reconstructed section, make the transition underground or aboveground. You can either immediately design and build a crossing, taking into account the future passage of the route, or build a temporary pedestrian bridge from prefabricated structures.

What's next?
We sent this package of proposals to K. V. Lyashkevich, head of the Main Department of Road Facilities of the Moscow Region. He promised to consider the package and invite us to discuss it. I will definitely write when it happens and what the results will be.

If you want to contribute to the implementation of these proposals, write letters on your behalf to "


When at the end of last year on the federal highway M8 “ Kholmogory ”(Yaroslavskoe highway) the long-awaited bypass of the village of Tarasovka opened, many motorists breathed a sigh of relief. Driving along the highway has become much more comfortable, but for almost the entire last summer season, the main problem area on the M8 road in the Moscow region was the overpass, along which Yaroslavka passes over the Moninskaya railway line. Finally, as planned, it was finished in the fall.

Alas, the traffic jam on Yaroslavka did not disappear after that, but only moved further into the region. Now it begins behind Tarasovka, and, as many summer residents are well aware, it usually stretches until the turn into Krasnoarmeyskoye Highway. It is not easier on the way back: the flow to the center sometimes stops even before Pushkino. About how they will fight this, we were told in the PKU Centermotorway(this is control Rosavtodor, serving federal highways in the Moscow region, it is the customer for the reconstruction of Yaroslavl in the region).

By 2024 there will be twice as many cars outside Tarasovka

The section of the M8 highway from 29 to 47 km, starting behind the bypass of Tarasovka, was built back in the 60-70s of the last century. True, it was partially reconstructed in the 80s: then the main transit flow switched to it, and “ old ” Yaroslavl became a part street network city ​​of Pushkino. But now it can no longer cope with the load: in addition to four multi-level interchanges, flows from many adjoining roads pour into Yaroslavka, and there is not enough bandwidth.

According to measurements made in 2013, the load on the site was 60-67 thousand cars per day. And in 2024, according to calculations, the traffic intensity here will more than double - up to 140 thousand cars per day! It is clear that reconstruction is long overdue.

8 lanes without traffic lights and ground crossings

The project provides for an increase in the number of lanes to eight (4 in each direction) along the entire length of the reconstructed section. It will start at the 29th km, after the Tarasovka bypass, and end at the 47th, after the interchange with “ concrete ”(expensive A-107). The lanes are wide (3.75 m each). In addition, in places where local roads adjoin Yaroslavka, side passages will be equipped, which will make it possible to separate local traffic from transit traffic.

But, of course, it's not just the number of rows. Which of the summer residents does not remember " famous" pedestrian crossing at the 33rd kilometer (behind the Ivanteevsky turn), which today “ holds" all federal highway! The speed here is limited to 50 km / h, and traffic cameras are installed. From the point of view of pedestrian safety, these are very reasonable measures, but the traffic jam - almost constant - begins a kilometer and a half before the crossing. Reconstruction should also solve this problem:

- According to the project, on the entire stretch, traffic should become traffic-free, and instead of crossings at the same level, elevated pedestrian crossings will be built, - reported in FKU Centermotorway.

At first, the reconstruction of Yaroslavka on the site from the bypass of Tarasovka to “ concrete blocks" A-107 was planned for 2015-18, but due to the crisis, it had to be postponed. Currently, the planned time frame for the implementation of the project is 2017-2020.

Yaroslavskoe highway in the Moscow region: light at the end of the tunnel July 15th, 2013

Posted by readers. In the previous one of the comments, we were asked to take care of Yaroslavl. I replied that they were already working on Yaroslavl without us, promising details.

The history of the Yaroslavl highway (federal highway M-8 Kholmogory) is long and complicated. M-8 "Kholmogory" is a federal highway, so its reconstruction is under the jurisdiction of Rosavtodor, and not Moscow and not the Moscow region. In 2007-2008 after a long construction period, a long-awaited section with interchanges in Korolev (20-22 km) was opened. However, the then reconstruction did not affect the neighboring sections of the route. As a result, it became easier to leave Korolev, but the remaining bottlenecks before and after the section did not allow to significantly reduce traffic jams!

Back in 2011, Probok.net, in the Road Paradoxes program, published a photograph of an unfinished, abandoned bridge near the village of Tarasovka.

We were then told that this section would be built. And they didn’t lie: in the Federal Targeted Investment Program of Russia for 2013-2015. reconstruction of two sections of Yaroslavka is envisaged: 16-20 km (from MKAD to Korolev) and 22-29 km (from Korolev to the end of Tarasovka). The boundaries of both sites on the map.

The result will be an excellent track with a main course of 5 + 5 lanes, with additional acceleration and deceleration lanes, with separate sections at the exits to local streets.

Video presentation

Construction has already begun on both sites. Separately placed on the diagrams, interchanges are included in the titles, they will simply be done at the final stage, after the launch of the main movement - this was the case on the first, royal section.

The title is called "Reconstruction of the M-8 Kholmogory highway - from Moscow through Yaroslavl, Vologda to Arkhangelsk on the section of the Moscow Ring Road - Pushkino, km 16 - km 47 in the Moscow Region. Launch complex No. 2, km 22 + 100 - km 29 + 500 (bypass .Tarasovka)". JSC DSK AVTOBAN operates under a state contract from August 2012 to March 2015. The cost is 14,791,296,098.00 rubles.

What will be done on Yaroslavka further in the region?
The first question that I had after studying this beauty was the place of transition from the reconstructed site to the current one, 2 + 2 lanes in each direction after Tarasovka. Of course, population density decreases with distance from the Moscow Ring Road. But not so much that the transition from five lanes to two was justified!

Fortunately, the work does not end there. The next stage will be the reconstruction to A-107 (Small Moscow Ring). The title will be called "Reconstruction of the highway M-8" Kholmogory "Moscow - Yaroslavl - Vologda - Arkhangelsk on the section km 29 - km 47, Moscow region". Designing is planned for 2013-2014, it is planned to allocate about 150-160 million rubles for it. True, on this moment it has not started yet, and the money for the work itself until 2015 has not yet been pledged. But the federal program is regularly adjusted and supplemented. And let's hope that the money will be found, preventing the emergence of another "bottleneck".

And what about in Moscow?
In Moscow, the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl Highway from the Moscow Ring Road to the Third Ring Road is already entering its final phase. All work is expected to be completed by the end of August. On July 8, traffic was opened on new overpass near the intersection with Veshnikh Vody street.

In general, the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway in Moscow is a necessary thing. Unfortunately, current project contains a number of shortcomings that have yet to be eliminated. The main one is the preserved bottleneck at the Severyanin platform. But more about that another time.

Yaroslavskoe highway in the region and within Moscow) is considered completed. In the course of modernization, the number of lanes was increased, side driveways were equipped to distinguish between local traffic from transit traffic, stops public transport, several transit overpasses were built. Reconstruction of the Yaroslavl Highway in the region (2014), the modernization scheme of which is shown below, made it possible to unload the traffic flow and create comfortable conditions for public transport.

Reasons for reconstruction

Prior to the start of modernization in the region, the main forming highway of the Yaroslavl region passed about fifty to sixty thousand cars a day. And this despite the fact that 700 kilometers from the Moscow ring road the route narrowed to three lanes, and at the twenty-eighth kilometer, in Tarasovka, to two. The congestion level of the route, according to the Yandex.Traffic service, during the summer period (even at night) rarely fell below seven points.

The government intended to solve the problem of traffic jams more thoroughly. Reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway in the region in 2014 (the scheme provided for the modernization of several sections) made it possible to effectively unload the traffic flow. The Governor of the Moscow region said that after the completion of the work, the throughput of the Yaroslavl highway will be about two hundred thousand cars per day, that is, it will increase four times.

In addition, there were no braking lanes on some sections of the route. Yaroslavka was poorly adapted to the movement of public transport, which, moving in the main stream of cars, made it difficult for other participants to maneuver traffic and created interference. The end brought one of the main Moscow highways into proper shape.

Purpose of modernization

The complex of urban planning policy and the construction of the city of Moscow considers the goal of the Yaroslavl Highway reconstruction project to be reducing the traffic congestion of the highway and creating conditions comfortable for public transport. Yaroslavl Highway should become more modern and convenient for both drivers and pedestrians.

Terms of modernization

Plans for the next modernization of the highway became known back in 2014. At that time, the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl Highway was already carried out in some areas (2014). The scheme presented to the public provided for the expansion of the highway and the construction of facilities, including those outside the Moscow Ring Road.

When will the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway be completed? Modernization of the highway section in Moscow (from MKAD to Garden Ring) ended in 2013. The Moscow region sections of the Yaroslavl highway were put into operation in October-November 2015 (from the sixteenth to the twentieth and from the twenty-second to twenty-seventh kilometers) and at the end of 2016. The deadlines for the completion of the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl Highway coincided with the planned ones.

Reconstruction sites

At the moment, three sections of Yaroslavka have been reconstructed: one within the Moscow ring road and two in the region. Full-scale work was carried out from the ring road to Mytishchi, then to the city of Pushkino and bypassing Tarasovka - the Yaroslavl highway was already modernized there. Reconstruction (the timing of which has not yet been specified) from the city of Pushkino to the Small Ring is at the design stage.

Reconstruction results

As a result of the modernization of the road, the throughput capacity of the route has increased and the conditions for the movement of public transport have been improved (Yaroslavskoe highway). The reconstruction, the terms of which were observed in accordance with the design documentation, was completed with the following results:

  • side passages were built from the even and odd sides of the Yaroslavl highway to Malyginsky passage;
  • the pedestrian crossing in the area of ​​the one hundred and thirteenth house along the Yaroslavl highway was increased by the length of the side passages;
  • a flyover was erected at the intersection with Malyginsky proezd;
  • side passages were built from the Severyaninsky overpass to Malyginsky passage;
  • a noise barrier was installed opposite Serzhantskaya and Palekhskaya streets;
  • a transit overpass was erected along Veshnikh Vody Street;
  • before the exit to Yeniseiskaya and Pilot Babushkin streets, the deceleration lane was extended and the width of the exit was increased;
  • near the house two hundred and eleven along Prospekt Mira, an underground pedestrian crossing was equipped;
  • driveways were arranged at the intersection with Selskokhozyaistvennaya Street;
  • from the ninety-first to the ninety-seventh houses along Mira Avenue, a three-lane passage is equipped.

Construction objects

The list of facilities erected during the modernization of the Yaroslavl Highway includes:

  • pedestrian crossings (three crossings within the Moscow Ring Road have been reconstructed);
  • transit overpasses (near Veshnikh Vody Street and at the intersection of Yaroslavka with Malyginsky Proyezd);
  • and side passages.

Reconstruction in numbers

It was planned that the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway as a whole would cost the government eight billion rubles. The cost of the project within the Moscow Ring Road (7.5 km to the Garden Ring) amounted to almost five hundred million rubles.

Problems of the new Yaroslavl

A lot of difficulties were brought by the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl highway in the region (2014). The scheme presents the project in a rather favorable way: there are pedestrian crossings, a separate lane for public transport and side "pockets" that allow pedestrians waiting for transport to be away from traffic, which is much safer than if the buses would stop directly on the road. But the construction and subsequent commissioning of the upgraded sections revealed several problems with the new Yaroslavl.

Firstly, during the construction or reconstruction of construction objects (overpasses, side passages, pedestrian crossings), concrete blocks that have led to emergencies. The most serious situation in this regard developed in the section from Mytishchi to the village of Tarasovka, where several interchanges were being built.

The inconvenience was the forced narrowing of the route for the period of the construction works, as well as changing the trajectory of the road. Thus, the Yaroslavl highway (reconstruction, the deadlines for which many drivers were waiting for, only worsened the traffic situation) has become a rather dangerous section.

Secondly, already at the end of the reconstruction, the following inconveniences for pedestrians were discovered:

  1. The road became traffic-free. Of course, they were built instead of ground ones, but, as you know, it is quite difficult to use them for people with limited mobility.
  2. Stops are located far enough from the underground passages. To maintain objectivity, it should be noted that the problem is not relevant for all public transport stops on the Yaroslavl Highway.

Drivers, more than half of whom are dissatisfied with the reconstruction, note that after the work, traffic jams not only remained, but also became uneven, and concentrated in several bottlenecks new route. However, the reconstruction of the Yaroslavl Highway in the region (2014), the scheme of which is presented in the article, is planned further, so it is possible that the problems will be eliminated over time.

When the long-awaited bypass of the village of Tarasovka was opened at the end of last year on the federal highway M8 Kholmogory (Yaroslavskoye Highway), many motorists breathed a sigh of relief. Driving on the highway has become much more comfortable.

Nevertheless, for almost the entire last summer season, the main problem area on the M8 road in the Moscow region was the overpass, through which Yaroslavka passes over the Moninskaya railway line. Finally, as planned, it was finished in the fall.

Alas, the traffic jam on Yaroslavka did not disappear after that, but only moved further into the region. Now it begins behind Tarasovka, and, as many summer residents are well aware, it usually stretches until the turn into Krasnoarmeyskoye Highway. It is not easier on the way back: the flow to the center sometimes stops even before Pushkino. FKU Tsentravtomagistral told about how this will be dealt with (this is the department of Rosavtodor that serves federal highways in the Moscow region, it is the customer for the reconstruction of Yaroslavl in the region).

By 2024 there will be twice as many cars outside Tarasovka

The section of the M8 highway from 29 to 47 km, starting behind the bypass of Tarasovka, was built back in the 60-70s of the last century. True, it was partially reconstructed in the 80s: then the main transit traffic switched to it, and the “old” Yaroslavka became part of the street network of the city of Pushkino.

The project provides for an increase in the number of lanes to eight (4 in each direction) along the entire length of the reconstructed section. It will start at the 29th km, after the Tarasovka bypass, and end at the 47th, after the interchange with the "concrete" (road A-107). The lanes are wide (3.75 m each). In addition, in places where local roads adjoin Yaroslavka, side passages will be equipped, which will make it possible to separate local traffic from transit traffic.

Reconstruction should also solve this problem:

“According to the project, traffic should become traffic-free throughout the entire stretch, and instead of crossings at one level, elevated pedestrian crossings will be built,” the Tsentravtomagistral FKU said.

At first, the reconstruction of Yaroslavka in the section from the Tarasovka bypass to the A-107 concrete road was planned for 2015-18, but it had to be postponed due to the crisis. Currently, the planned time frame for the implementation of the project is 2017-2020.
